FOREWORD
Engr. Syed Jamshed Rizvi
President, Institution of Engineers Pakistan

In the past two decades Occupational Health, Safety & Environment-HSE

has received its overdue importance in the workplaces. It acquired added
impetus when it became a part of WTO protocols since January 2005,
requiring the exporters to comply with the basic HSE norms in their
manufacturing and production units. Even otherwise, HSE culture is an
essential part of good housekeeping and good business practices all over
the world.

The Institution of Engineers Pakistan, in line with its prime objectives

initiated a series of National Seminars in 2001 to pre-empt the WTO
conditionalities later in 2005. These National Seminars were largely
attended and it laid down the beginning of an HSE culture, followed by
such seminars by other organizations. Engr. C L Nanakani and Engr.
Anwar ul Haq Siddiqui were amongst the pioneers of this national service.
And that they have authored An Introduction to Occupational Health,
Safety and Environment consolidating their valuable experience in the
book. I very strongly commend their efforts.

This book will provide an opportunity to the readers, the manufacturers,

the managers, the supervisors and persons engaged in workplaces, a first-
hand knowledge on this subject. Perhaps this is the first Pakistani book,
written in the local perspective, specially covering the legislations:
enactments, rules and regulations applicable in the land.

I am glad that IEP Karachi Centre is sponsoring its publication, while the
two esteemed authors have given the copy rights in favor of the
Institution. I do hope it will provide impetus to the engineering fraternity
to come out with volumes on other engineering subjects. Let us promote
this book- writing culture too.

Institution of Engineers Pakistan, 18th November, 2013

THE INSTITUTION OF ENGINEERS PAKISTAN
The Institution of Engineers, Pakistan came into existence on 7th May,
1948 with the blessings of Father of the Nation Quaid-e-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah. It was established as Successor in interest to the
Institution of Engineers India earlier incorporated by the Royal Charter of
1937 in then British India. Its Headquarters was at Dhaka, then East
Pakistan. In 1972 the Headquarters were shifted to Lahore. The name was
amended as The Institution of Engineers, Pakistan', by substitution of
Institution for Institute in 1979, in line with the international trend.

IEP is the largest and oldest body of professional engineers in Pakistan

established providing a forum for the professional development of
engineers through a wide range of activities and programs. The Institution
comprises 14 divisions presently covering the maximum range of
engineering disciplines. At present, IEP has over 50,000 members out of
whom around 20,000 are corporate members. The membership of the
Institution carries with it the pride of the profession. It has nine Local
Centres, situated in the four provisional capitals and also at places where
there is a large concentration of engineering activities. It has two overseas
chapters.

The Institution has an approved IEP Constitution, according to which its

affairs at the Headquarters are managed by its elected President, Vice
Presidents and Secretary General. The IEP Central Council elected for a 3-
years term has been vested with the powers of the Governing Body.

The IEP has bilateral relations with 32 professional societies and

institutions abroad. It acts as a National Committee of the World
Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO), the Commonwealth
Engineers Council (CEC) UK, American Association for Advancement of
Science (AAAS), a founder member of Federation of Engineering
Institutions of South and Central Asia (FEISCA) as well as Federation of
Engineering Institutions of Islamic Countries (FEIIC) and Consortium of
Affiliates for International Program (CAIP).

Aims and Objectives

The Institutions main goal is to Build Better World reflected in its
logo. The aim and objectives of the institution are to:

Promote and advance the science, practice, and business of

engineering in all its branches throughout Pakistan.
Promote efficiency in the engineering practice and profession.
Regulate the professional activities and assist in maintaining high
standard in the general conduct of its members.
Lay down the professional code of ethics and to make it mandatory
for its members in their professional conduct.
Help in the acquisition and exchange of technical knowledge
Promote professional interest and social welfare of its members
Encourage original research in engineering, conservation and
economic utilization of the resources of the country.
Foster coordination with similar institution in other countries and
educational institutions in Pakistan and abroad for mutual benefits.
To disseminate information and knowledge among engineers
through lectures, conferences, seminars and publication of journal
and papers.
Cooperate with various government agencies and industrial
enterprises advising them in matters concerning the profession and
practice of engineering and promotion of technical education.

The Institution has been taking concerted efforts to upgrade the

professional knowledge and technical know-how of its member engineers
by undertaking various technical activities. IEP has conducted studies on
various national issues and technical problems; and submitted its
recommendations to the government.

To update the knowledge of professionals, IEP publishes a journal and

conducts various technical discourses such as lecturers / continuing
education courses, seminars and symposiums, workshops, round table
group discussions through its vast network of Local Centres. The
Institution also invites foreign experts to the country during the
International Congress so that Pakistani engineers can interact with them
to exchange scientific and technological knowledge.
C.
GENESIS OF THE BOOK
It was a pleasant April evening, the newly elected Local Council of the
Institution of Engineers Pakistan, Karachi Centre in its regular monthly
meeting was discussing the Calendar for its 3-years elected term (2001-
2003). The members were told that the Central Council at Head Quarters,
Lahore, has decided that IEP Karachi Centre would to arrange the holding
of yearly International Congresses for Civil Engineering and Mechanical
Engineering disciplines. Engr. C L Nankani, who had earlier presented his
Technical Papers in several technical seminars on Occupational Health,
Safety and Environment- HSE, proposed to initiate a series of National
Seminars on this subject. This proposal was welcomed and later the
Central Council also appreciated this initiative.

The First National Seminar on Occupational Health, Safety &

Environment was a 2-days event held on 21-22 September, 2001. There
were some 280 paid delegates from all over Pakistan representing the
major industries, defence services, research institutions, and universities
from the public and private sectors, HSE consultants and practitioners who
attended that seminar. 21 technical papers were presented by very learned
and highly experienced scholars. A follow-up and exclusive Seminar on
Fire and Disaster Control was held soon after on 12 November, 2001.

The great success of the seminar on this newly emerging multi-disciplined

subject over-spilling engineering domains and involving medical doctors,
psychologists, insurance mangers, lawyers, city planners and developers,
and scientists from several disciplines; it was decided to make it a regular
annual feature of the IEP Karachi Centres Technical Activities.

The Convener of the First Seminar, then Vice Chairman (Mechanical)

Engr. Anwar ul Haq Siddiqui, the Seminar Coordinator Engr. C L Nankani
and Engr. M, Abdullah Farooqui formed an HSE Core Committee and
since then, the IEP Karachi has held 8 successful seminars in this series
(see Appendix-1).

We are glad to note that HSE Culture has been picked up and since then
some other institutions like Quiad-Awam University of Engineering,
Science & Technology (QUEST), organizations like Fauji Fertilizers,
Engro Chemicals and several HSE consultants have also started regular
seminars and training courses on these topics.

We felt that there was hardly any book on the subject in the context of
Pakistan scenario. Engr. C L Nankani has spent his life time in the
Department of Labour Welfare, Government of Sindh; he had pursued
training with ILO and attended several courses abroad on HSE. He finally
retired as the Joint Director in-charge of Occupational Safety and Health
Centre at Karachi. He had presented his technical papers on various
aspects of HSE. So we thought why not to present these technical papers
in the book form? However it was suggested that obvious duplication and
repetition should be removed and the text material may be converted in the
book format with requisite additions to fill in the gaps wherever required.
Engr. Anwar ul Haq Siddiqui agreed to undertake this task. The proposal
was readily accepted in the Local Council Meeting held April 2008 but the
project got delayed due to one reason or the other.

This book is now in your hands, we have first introduced Occupational

Health, Safety and Environment, HSE, its total perspective. In Chapter 1
we have tried to lay down a Historical Background; and in Chapter 2 a
glance though the general Issues and their Solutions. Then we have
developed HSE in each of its components one by one some larger
perspective.

We believe that spending in HSE is not an unnecessary cost burden but an

investment leading to improvement in the productivity, in the quality of
products and a satisfied workforce. Apparently the money spent on Fire
Safety Equipment lies dormant but during an emergency a small
investment may save the entire industrial complex. Chapter 3 explains
this economic aspect HSE at Workplace Improves Productivity.

Chapter 4 deals with the most important subject Management of Health &
Safety Function. The commitment of the management from the top level
is a key to the success of HSE programs. In Chapter 5, the core subject
Industrial Safety and Workplace Hazards have been addressed in greater
details. Risk Assessment and Safety Audits do require professional
approach for the effectiveness of HSE programs.
Chapter 6 Occupational Health and Occupational Hygiene deals the
basic health issues in workplace. Only an adequately healthy and robust
workforce can deliver the targeted organizational objectives. In Chapter 7
Industrial Accidents: Causes and Prevention has been the focus of
discussion. Accident can be avoided and must be avoided with diligent
attention for own and others life. An accident-free environment provides
high morale amongst workforce.
Safety is the first principle of engineering and therefore this aspect has
been dealt in some larger details in the Chapter 8 Machine Safety at
Workplace. In situations where work does require extra measures to
protect the working person the use of Personal Protective Equipment
becomes imperative; explained in Chapter 9. Fire Safety in Chapter 10
draws attention to this important hazard in all situations but specially the
industrial workplace. Properly lit work area insures not only safety but it
does improve work efficiency. Chapter 11, Safety through Proper
Lighting deals the subject with recommendations for requirement of light
in various work situations.

Noise and Vibration Control dealt in Chapter 12 have been somehow

remained not well attended subjects but increased incidents demand
corrective measures. Ergonomics and Human Factor Engineering in
Chapter 13, has drawn attention of the workplace designers and planners
to reduce the human stress factors in design of tools, machines, furniture
and layouts. The due diligence in the use of Ergonomics principles
definitely improves work efficiency leading to better productivity.

Chapter 14 deals with a very delicate and important aspect of HSE

Behavior Based Safety Human Element, a key approach in the
development of HSE Culture. The Factory Inspector or Health & Safety
Officer of the government regulatory body is empowered to implement the
laws and regulations; his role would actually provide and determine the
soul and spirit; it has been discussed in Chapter 15 Industrial Pollution
Role of Factory Inspector.

We have included Chapter 16 Safety of Transportation in Pakistan

mainly based on the technical paper by late Engr. A. R Qureshi, a very
thorough gentleman, well read engineer and experienced trainer. A good
transportation system is vital for the industrial development of the country
and needs utmost attention of the Economic and Financial Managers.

Textile Industry is the largest industrial sector in Pakistan, as such we

have selected it and discussed HSE training needs therein in Chapter 17
under the caption Safety Training in Textile Industry. It is a cursory
discussion, no replacement of a Training Manual.

We have mentioned in the Historical Background, that it was the great

benevolent ruler Hammurabi, who first enunciated the concept of
equitable compensation for loss to an employee. In Chapter 18,
Humanitarian Consideration Compensation of Loss, we have tried to
capture the spirit of a good humanitarian, just and benevolent scheme of a
welfare oriented society.
National Legislation on Occupational Health, Safety & Environment-
Current Review in Chapter 19, is an attempt to explain the current
position and prospective legislation under the purview of national
lawmakers now long awaited.

Under the Constitution 1973 reinforced by the 18th Amendment, the

Health, Safety and Environment are provincial subjects, therefore in
Chapter 20, we have discussed Labor Directorate Health and Safety
Laws as the enforcement authority in the jurisdiction of Sindh Province;
other provinces too have similar state apparatus.

Quality dimension in any business, industrial or commercial is crucial to

its survival and expansion. Quality and Health & Safety are inter-twined
as such ISO-9,000: Standards of Quality Management is briefly
discussed in Chapter 21. And in natural extension in Chapter 22 ISO-
14,000: Standards for Environment Management follows. Gradually the
big industrial concerns especially in the petroleum, chemicals and
fertilizers sectors are adopting OHSAS-18,000. We have discussed this in
Chapter 23 under the Need of OHSAS-18,000 in Present Day Business.

After 9/11 episode at World Trade Centre, New York, terrorism has posed
greatest setback to the business and development in Pakistan and
internationally. We have tried to cover this external threat and internal
workplace violence in Chapter 24 Workplace Violence and Preparedness
against Terrorism.

Failure of diligent observation of HSE Culture can some time lead to

catastrophic disasters. In Chapter 25, we included three examples: Union
Carbide Gas Tragedy, Bhopal, India; Nuclear Radiation Leakage at
Chernobyl-Ukraine, Russia and latest British Petroleum- Offshore
Petroleum Rig-mishap in Gulf of Mexico. These accidents show the
enormity of consequences for ignoring even what may seem a minor
hazard at the workplace.

Finally, in Appendix 1, we have included Technical Papers/ Authors of

the 8 IEP Seminars. IEP administration has been advised to make these
technical papers on-line on IEP Karachi Centre website: www.iepkc.org.
Appendix-2, List of National Institutions and HSE Consultants, it is not
exhaustive but whatever best we could get. Appendix-3 lists the ILO
Conventions related to HSE while Appendix-4 provides an example of
Material Safety Data Sheet- MSDS, now a legal requirement for the
marketing of chemical products with likely health hazards.

We would like to place our thanks to the IEP Karachi Centre Local
Council for sponsoring this project specially Engr. Syed Jamshed Rizvi,
President IEP and past Chairman IEP Karachi Centre for his
encouragement, Engr. Farhat Adil, Chairman, IEP Karachi Centre and
Engr. Ayaz Mirza, Secretary IEP Karachi Centre for providing
administrative support; Engr. M. Abdullah Farooqui, Engr. Akhtar Quddus
HSE Consultant and Engr. Abdul Muqtadar Siddiqui (Attock Oils) for
their technical review of the book; Engr. Zaffar A Zuberi, IEP Past
Chairman and President, Engr. Parvez Sadiq, Engr. Suhail Bashir and
other IEP Council Members for their team spirit and support.

We would like to pay our special thanks to Engr. Rear Admiral (R) M. I.
Arshad, as then Vice President IEP (2001-03) for his very valuable, ardent
and personal initial support in paving the way for introducing HSE
Seminars. Thanks are also due to Mr. Saifuddin, Asst Director in
computerization of the text, M. Sharif Khan, Asst Director (Events
Management) for the Seminar Programs and Mr. Skindar Mannan, Deputy
Director for overall logistic support in the printing and publishing of this
book.

Engr. Anwar Siddiqui would separately like to thank his son Abrar
Siddiqui for providing books through Amazon.com, daughter-in-law Sarah
Zia, an officer in Canadian Federal Government for Canadian Work
Manual while in Toronto, his son Izhar Siddiqui for reviewing the
linguistic merits, daughter-in-law-law Marium Gul, an Architect for
designing the cover page, his daughter Amna Wajih and son-in-law Wahih
Khan for providing HSE books and other facilitation while completing this
book in Southampton UK. He particularly appreciates his wife Farhana
Bano for bearing with patience the drab hours during our long vacations
and otherwise, during the completion of this arduous work.

We bow our head before God Almighty for giving us courage to undertake
this first ever book on a technical subject sponsored by the Institution of
Engineers Pakistan. We hope it will encourage other brother engineers to
use this platform to enlarge the engineering profession by writing books
on different subjects of professional interests.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENT:

A Brief Historical Background

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Health, Safety and Environment are three major subjects by their own
entities with several specialized branches in each sector but we are
restricting their scope to the workplace, that is, in the situations applicable
to occupations, both in the industrial sector as well in the services. Hence
the pre-fix occupational and as such it should be understood that our
main focus will be occupational health, occupational safety and
occupational environment. From this point of view these wider subjects
get intertwined into one single multi-disciplined subject Occupational
Health, Safety and Environments. This multi-discipline subject attracts
attention of several branches of modern professional knowledge such as
engineering, health, psychology, medicine, insurance, administration,
ergonomics, international trade and industry to name a few of those more
involved.

1.2 HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVORONMENT - HSE

For the sake of brevity we will henceforth refer Occupational Health,
Safety and Environment as HSE. The subject has been also approached
as SHE meaning Safety, Health and Environment but we would avoid
this gender-sensitive term. There are others who prefer the term OSH that
is Occupational Safety and Health; and EHS that is Environmental Health
and Safety. HSE has received due attention in the last two decades and it
has rapidly developed through the need of Human Resource development
to meet the international, expanded, global trade and business
requirements. The World Trade Organization- WTO demands globally
healthier, safer and environmental friendly workplaces so that quality
products are made available without interruptions. As such it has received
an added stress from the engineering profession. A quick historical
perspective will not be out of place on this important and upcoming multi-
discipline engineering profession.
1.3 AGRARIAN PHASE OF CIVILIZATION
Hammurabi, the Babylonian ruler (1792-1728 BC) developed a 280
paragraph Code of Conduct which perhaps can be described as the fore-
runner of present day workers compensation laws. However by and large
during the agrarian phase specially in its most developed form the
feudalism the worker was a serf, a slave and he was treated only a little
higher than the animal force and sometimes employed as the brute animal
force. According to Alvin Toffler, in his famous book The Third Wave
this First Wave of Civilization Development lasted for some 12,000
years starting from the time when homo-sapiens left the cave life and
developed initial settlements along the river-sides for availability of water
for the crops.

1.4 INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

The Second Wave of Civilization Development started from the period
(1760-1840) that renowned historian Arnold Toynbee, first described as
Industrial Revolution when significant discoveries and invention
changed the human life patterns. Till then, the production methods were
labor-intensive with work being done by hand in cottages. Three
developments were to change this way of life. In England, inventors
developed the spinning jenny in 1764 and perfected the power-loom in
1784. In America, Eli Whitney added his invention, the cotton gin in
1792. These inventions along with the discovery of steam and electrical
motive powers ushered in the Industrial Revolution - changing the
craftsman into factory worker and work cottages into factory.

1.5 SATELITE COMMUNICATION ERA

Tofflers Third Wave of the Development of Civilization is the new era
of internet satellite communication since 1980s that has shrunk the world
into a Global Village. Once again the human life pattern has added new
dimensions, never imagined before when the inventions have multiplied
manifolds and now the personal computers, lap-tops, i-pads, mobile
telephones, television, and color-photo camera, plastic money are in the
hands of common man. Bill Gates has aptly described this new life pattern
by naming his book Business @ Thought.

1.6 MASS PRODUCTION

Mass production with large number of industrial workers created hazards
never before encountered. Initially, the condition of these workers was
pitiable in terms of human values, health and safety. Feudal mindset
treated these industrial workers to the neo-capitalist advantage. The
chronicles from the American Industrial History provide a grim picture.
The 1900 census showed 1,750,178 working children between 10 and 15
years age including a large number working in mines and quarries. These
children often worked 12 to 14 hours a day, there were no health and
safety guidelines in effect, even children less than 10 years age had
become victims of the feudal mindset.

1.7 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY IN UK

In United Kingdom, the first regular statute was enacted as the Factories
Act 1833 with the main objective to protect health and well being of
industrial workers. Medical service was also introduced in the industrial
plants as a result of Workmens Compensation Laws. Eventually, the
Health and Safety at Work Act - 1974 in Section-7 clearly states that: "It
shall be the duty of every employee while at work-(a) to take reasonable
care for the health and safety of himself and of other persons who may be
affected by his acts or omissions at work; and (b)as regards any duty or
requirement imposed on his employer or any other person by or under any
of the relevant statutory provisions, to co-operate with him so far as is
necessary to enable that duty or requirement to be performed or complied
with."

1.8 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY IN USA

It was in 1913 US General Election that Industrial Safety became an
issue resulting in a compulsory Workmens Compensation Act that
became effective in mid-1914. Industrial Safety gathered momentum by
the formation National Safety Council in 1913; American Engineering
Standards Committee (AESC) in 1918, and later in 1928 as the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI). In 1939, the American Industrial
Hygiene Association was established to promote the recognition,
evaluation and control of environment stresses arising in or from the
workplace. Occupational Safety and Health Act: OSHA-1970 made it
mandatory for private sector employees in the United States to keep
occupational injury and illness records in accordance with these
regulations; that each employer shall furnish to each of his employees
employment and a place of employment which is free from recognized
hazards.

1.9 INDUSTRIAL SAFETY IN SUB-CONTINET

In the sub-continent, the first law to regulate working conditions was
enacted in 1881 and was called Factories Act. It was replaced by another
legislation in 1911, but finally Factories Act 1934 was enacted which
continues to be enforced with due amendments from time to time.

1.10 INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Internationally, the International Labor Organization (ILO) has made
tremendous efforts for the health, safety and welfare of the workforce
throughout the world. International Conventions first started through the
Conferences in Berne in 1905, 1906 and 1913 are becoming acceptable to
the progressive nations. Pakistan is also a signatory to several ILO
Conventions related to HSE, detailed in Appendix-3, however, their
enforcement in the industrial establishments especially in the small and
medium enterprises (SMEs) needs monitoring.

1.11 WTO REGULATIONS

World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations are now enforced effective
January 2005 in Pakistan. ISO Standards have also been adopted to
provide the quality parameters of the products, produced by the
manufacturer. The international buyers usually appoint inspectors to check
housekeeping / cleanness, ventilation, use of personal protective
equipments by workers against hazardous chemicals and dyes, hygiene
card, vaccination certificate, child labour employed, working hours and
limits of the overtime taken by employers, emergency exit system, fire
fighting equipments, and fire alarm system etc., some of the basic safety
requirements. In some cases they also check environment in which the
workers are supposed to work for eight hours, noise level emitted by the
machine and lights installed in the factories.

An international audit organization, World-Wide Responsibility for

Apparel Production- WRAP, specializes in the checking of Health and
Safety of the workers in garment production units. Pakistan, as a garments
export county, is supposed to adhere to the international HSE regulations
to maintain its presence and to compete with other regional countries like
Bangladesh, India and China, through imparting awareness at all levels.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND

ENVIRONMEN: ISSUES &SOLUTIONS
2.1 INTRODUCTION

Occupational Health, Safety and Environment, HSE is getting added

importance internationally and so it is, in Pakistan. Governments as well
as private sector would like to protect their investment whether it is in the
form of industries or the work force.

Workforce is no more a hidden investment that any industry would like to

get affected silently in present day scenario. No industry can be made
effectively functional unless there is a trained workforce to operate the
machines installed there, in a safe and healthy atmosphere.

HSE is not one party job; it is a triangular function i.e. Government,

Employer and Trade Union. If any of these functionaries is not
performing properly, it will not give the projected or estimated results.
The functions of these three important elements are as under:

GOVERNMENT Legislating the requisite

laws and enforcing those
purposefully.
EMPLOYER Making of the policy
and plans of
implementation.
TRADE UNION Controlling of the
manpower for better
performance.

2.2 GOVERNMENT - THE FIRST PARTNER

Government is the first partner is any scheme for the Occupational Health,
Safety and Environment. We would briefly describe the laws adopted and
some new laws promulgated since the independence from the British Rule
in 1947.

(1) Factories Act 1934 and Sindh Factory

Rules 1975, Occupational Hazards Rules
1969.
(2) West Pakistan Shops and Establishment
Ordinance 1969.
(3) Dock Labour Act 1934(for workers
employed in seaport).
(4) Mines Act 1923 (for workers employed in
mines)
(5) Environment Protection Act 1997
(6) The Explosive Act 1884 and Rules 1940
(7) The Petroleum Act 1934 and Rules 1937
(8) Oil and Gas (Safety in Drilling and
Production) Regulation, 1974 issued
under Mines Act
(9) Pakistan Nuclear Safety and Radiation
Protection Ordinance 1984
(10) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Ordinance
2002
(11) Electricity Act 1910 and Rules 1937
(12) The Workmen Compensation Act 1923
and Rules 1961

The above mentioned laws have been enacted for the protection of general
workers or those employed in specific fields or processes. The
Government has also set-up various departments to implement these laws
for the welfare of the workforce employed and to protect the machines,
building and other installation from damage by any accidents. One may
think that much importance is being given by the Government to protect
the huge investments made in purchase of such equipment, machinery and
construction of building but the hidden facts behind this is that the
Government also wants to protect the worker-force, by ensuring better
knowledge about the operation of machines, better health conditions and
safety from the accidents so as to have a better civil society.

One can also observe that the government has given special importance to
the health, safety and welfare of the those workers engaged in hazardous
manufacturing, mining, exploration and at sea ports etc by enacting
specific laws for their safety and by establishing various departments to
look after the interest of the health of workers, the safe guard of machines
and infrastructure investment made by the employers and healthy growth
of trade unions in the workforce.
Let us survey the Factories Act, 1934 and Rules framed there under along
with Hazardous Occupation Rules 1969. One can easily see that every
element has been clearly defined such as factory, worker, employer
certifying surgeon, factory inspector, working hours, holidays, how shift
can rotate working hours, when the medical checkup of the workers are to
take place, vaccination system, the process which come under the
hazardous occupation, which machines are to be provided with guards;
where, how and at which height workers are allowed to work, system of
prosecution of the employer, where the prosecution to be lodged, the
amount of fine etc. The general health and safety provisions of the
Factories Act 1934 are given in the table shown as Annexure -A.

The occupational hazardous processes are detailed in the Hazardous

Occupation Rules 1969. There are nine defined processes and the last
miscellaneous covers a wide range of the chemicals as well as processes.
These are given in the table shown as Annexure-B.

2.3 EMPLOYER - THE SECOND PARTNER

The second partner of any HSE scheme is the employer who has made
huge investment by putting up the factory/manufacturing unit. His priority
duty should be to provide adequate training to the workers who have to
perform the job, must be informed about the operation methods, hazards
associated with the particular machine or process, who has to maintain and
who is to supervise workers. Employers policy must be to keep the
factory safe and well cleaned with a better housekeeping. The important
points of better housekeeping are given in the table shown as Annexure -
C.

Where all the engineering process or methods fail to provide safety to the
worker, then comes the turn to use of the personal protection equipment.
The important principles are laid down in the table shown as Annexure -
D for guidance of the employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to
provide personal safety equipment, however if it is misused or lost the
worker may be asked to pay the full or part of the replacement costs.

Safety Committee should also be formed of the workers with the

Production Manager, Maintenance Manager, and if possible a person from
the Finance Department of the establishment should be included too so
that funds are released for timely implementation. Safety Committee(s)
should hold meetings periodically and review the progress.

2.4 TRADE UNION - THE THIRD PARTNER

Now comes the turn of the third and last but most important partner of the
HSE- the Trade Union. The trade union is the collective body of work
force and where such a position is not obtained we would consider here
the workforce itself. The trade union has to guide the workers from time
to time, provide them training or cooperation with the management in
getting the training to the workforce, ask them for better housekeeping,
cleaning, proper attendance, cooperation with the management,
supervisors in maintenance of the machine, fittings mad facilities etc,
putting in the safety guards on the machine after the repair/maintenance
and should not do anything without authority from the department /section
competent person.

So for the effective implementation of any good HSE scheme, to achieve

higher quality of products, better productivity of workforce and higher
indicators of success this tripartite relationship has to be established in
overall best interests of the three partners.

2.5 THE ISSUES:

In the context of HSE in a workplace, major focus is drawn on the
following issues:

(1) Employer should be made aware of Occupational, Health and

Environment, HSE
(2) Training of the workers for HSE
(3) Purchase of machines with safety provisions
(4) Erection of machinery in healthy and safe environment
(5) Construction of building with safety and health provisions
(6) Personal protection equipment wherever required
(7) Factory and general lighting for safe work environment
(8) Fire safety and fire-fighting equipment and training
(9) Occupational and general health of the establishment

2.6 THE SOLUTIONS:

We will try to forward brief solutions to the above issues; meanwhile the
topics arising out of this discussion will be dealt in the remaining chapters
of this book.

(1). Employer awareness in respect of HSE is a MUST as he is the

authority to release the funds for the development of Occupational Health,
Safety and Environment. He should attend refresher courses to update
himself on HSE matters. An HSE manager may be assigned to plan
program, to assist the employees, to provide training in this respect and to
look after the day to day issues related to Occupational Health, Safety and
Environment.
(2). Training of the workers before assigning them on the work is
absolutely essential. First step must be to inform the worker about the
hazards associated with that job/work. How to start and stop the machine;
how to remove safety guards and with whose permission? In this way
accidents which take place due to the lack of knowledge are avoided.
Many work hours otherwise lost, would be saved indirectly contributing to
profitability of the project.

A copy of certificate of training about the worker from the organization or

trainer should always be kept in custody of the departmental manager or
section in charge so that he can produce the same when enquired.

(3). Purchase of Machinery / Equipment: It should be prime

responsibility of the employer to purchase safe machinery/ equipment and
get the manufacture certificate in this respect. In case of second hand
machine no such certificate can be had. Further second hand machinery
agents always try to dismantle machine within the shortest possible time.
In this way at times they lose the proper guards, locking system etc
provided for the safety purpose. In such machine production can be had
but safety of the worker is ignored. It is not advisable to use second hand
machinery/ equipment without originally designed safety features.

(4). Construction of Building: Design and construction of building

should be got done by a well qualified architect and designed according to
the foreseeable production requirement, the floor compactness, the
provisions of the safety exists, requirement of light in the day time to
manage the electric bills and keep the production to the maximum level
under the safe working atmosphere which do not create stress for the
workers health. Fire protection systems, noise control system, heat
absorption system are fitted where duly required and electric power points
are allocated properly on the production area wherever necessary.
Passages are properly designed for movement of raw material and finished
goods. Raw material godown and finish goods godown is planned in such
way that little transport is done. Not only time is wasted in long distances
but accident risk increases if the distances in between are long.

(5). Erection of Machinery: Machinery should be got erected by

qualified engineer / supervisor properly, so that minimum and safe
working areas are used. Safety devices are properly color painted and
fitted nuts and bolts are tightened, guards are placed at proper points, inter
locking system are made functional and proper passages are earmarked so
that worker can move easily and safely.

(6). Personal Protective Equipment: Initially the employer must provide

safety guards to the machine and work process. The use of personal
protective equipment (PPE) is only last resort for protecting the worker.
As in our country the climate is too hot for use of the PPE is considered
inconvenient. It is human psychology that the worker feels anything extra
on his body during working as a burden. So it is the Trade Union
responsibility to make worker use PPE to keep him safe from any
accident. Trade Union must co-operate with the management if any
worker in avoiding to use the PPE. One can have a look at the cricket
players using lot of safety guard to protect them during batting and wicket
keeping etc. Hence PPE is to protect the worker from injury.

(7). Lighting: Basically, it is the job of the building designer to make

maximum utilization of natural light in the building and try to save in the
electric bills while keeping in view the production processes. As every
production process needs different requirement of light it also at the same
time varies for the worker age group. Building Designer should follow
U.K. Illumination Engineers Associations recommended standards, the
lighting affects the quality of the product secondly working in sub-
standard light would create eye tension in that work force.

(8). Fire Safety: Building designer should keep in his mind of this
important factor of the safety and provide a good capacity of water in the
underground tank. Similarly an over head tank with hydrant pipe points is
installed in the building. The passages, doors and windows should be
designed in such an order that in case of fire emergency the same can be
used as fire exit. Alternate stair case has to be provided to the floors over
and above the ground floor and this alternate safety stair case should be
connected to the safe opening place so that the workers who are in top
floor (s) should land in the safe place.

(9). Occupational Health: This is affected in the long period varying

from the process to process as well as workers own personal physique.
Notice of the effect sometimes takes place after 15 to 20 years period of
time. If the worker is checked periodically the remedial action can be had
earlier. Similarly person working with different hazardous chemicals
should also be checked periodically. As the law provides for the hygiene
cards, these may be studied to check the effect of the process, and the
health position of workers from time to time.

Concluding we may suggest that all that has been explained in the
foregoing are the general principles and minor variation from the process
to process and area to area will take place. Qualified HSE Consultants
may be addressed for specific programs. Remember life is one time game;
it is too precious to be lost or wasted for lack of safety or hazardous
environment. Let us, the government, the employers, the workers and the
trade unions chart out policies, plans and programs to promote sustainable
development, Health, Safety and Environment not only at our work places
but at our homes, on the roads and in the schools, everywhere, HSE
becomes a part of our culture.
